67 Project emissions—displacement abatement
(1) The project emissions for project biomethane facility f for a reporting period (PEdisplacement, f), in tonnes CO2-e, are worked out using the following formula:
| start formula PE subscript displacement comma f equals E subscript F comma displacement comma f plus E subscript PE comma displacement comma f end formula | Equation 29 |
| E subscript F comma displacement comma f | are the emissions from fuel that are specifically attributable to the operation of project biomethane facility f during the reporting period (including transport), in tonnes CO2-e, worked out using equation 30. | | E subscript PE comma displacement comma f | are the emissions from purchased electricity that are specifically attributable to the operation of project biomethane facility f during the reporting period, in tonnes CO2-e, worked out using equation 31. |
(2) In determining EF, displacement, f and EPE, displacement, f, disregard fuel and purchased electricity used for landfill gas capture for biomethane and emissions destruction project activities.
Note: Examples of fuel and purchased electricity uses to be disregarded include fuel and electricity used in the collection of landfill gas or transport of landfill gas to a biogas upgrading system. This ensures that double counting of project emissions does not occur. Project emissions from fuel and electricity used in landfill gas capture for biomethane and emissions destruction are accounted for when working out net displacement abatement in accordance with Division 2 of this Part.
